After rolling through all of the GTI and GLI complaints it’s like 2-3 vs 160+. If it’s a similar issue for both, the failure rate is fractional by comparison.
The suggestion was made in this thread that the dsg and ecu talk to each other and somehow might mitigate stalling by blipping the throttle. This doesnt seem like an engineered solution that is safe from future problems, and doesnt mitigate possible wear on the camshaft (if that post about oil weight and cam timing is true).
Let's let the facts roll out in due time. I don't think a sample size distribution analysis without a clear root cause is sufficient enough data to convey confidence in dsgs (masked problems are even worse as they cannot be predicted).
